The Health Stigma and Discrimination Framework: a global, crosscutting framework to inform research, intervention development, and policy on health-related stigmas
Published in BMC Medicine, this open-access paper introduces the Health Stigma and Discrimination Framework—a global, crosscutting model designed to guide research, interventions, and policy across multiple health issues including HIV, cancer and mental illness.
Moving beyond siloed approaches, the framework highlights how different forms of stigma intersect and provides a roadmap for more coordinated, effective responses to one of the most persistent barriers to health equity.
